The next match between the townspeople and Southampton was supposed to take place at the end of April, but since Manchester City are the League Cup finalists, the Football Federation of England has put this match on next Wednesday. Josep Guardiola’s charges approach the confrontation with the saints not in the best mood, but with good motivation. In the last round of the English championship, Manchester City lost a very principled match to Manchester United, thus interrupting their victorious procession in the national championship. Before being defeated by the Red Devils, the Mancunians had won 15 matches in a row. Moreover, if we consider all the tournaments in which Guardiola’s wards participate, then before this failure they had not lost 28 fights in a row, having achieved 25 victories in them. The failure in the fight against the red devils did not particularly shake the standings of Manchester City. Citizens continue to lead confidently in the Premier League, being 11 points ahead of Manchester United. The Mancunians also continue to be the best home team of the current championship in England. In their home arena, in 15 matches in the English championship, the “townspeople” achieved 11 victories, lost twice and drew twice. The next match with Southampton Manchester City is approaching without personnel losses.
The Foxes also played a 29th round-off against Burnley this week and earned only one point. Thus, together with the defeat in the previous league game from Arsenal (1:3), Leicester have not won the Premier League in two consecutive rounds. However, Chelsea and Everton are not wasting time. So far, Leicester is in third place in the standings, being just one point behind Manchester United. However, the retirees pulled themselves up four points, while the toffee lagged behind by five points and played one less game. At the moment Brendan Rogers’ team has not lost for nine matches in a row and the only away defeat in the current championship Leicester suffered in the middle of November from Liverpool (0:3). Not surprisingly, the Foxes are now the best away team in the championship. In 14 away matches Rogers’ wards achieved nine victories, drew four times and lost only one match. Only the staffing situation speaks not in favor of guests, since a number of players of the main squad are registered in the infirmary. These are defenders James Justin and Wes Morgan, midfielders Harvey Barnes, James Maddison and Dennis Prat, striker Ayose Perez.
